Cohen plays a egomaniacal and tyrannical depot, based, or at least inspired by Saddam Hussein. Reportedly, Cohen plays two roles, that of the dictator, who travels to America, and a goatherder who replaces him. The trailer is only interested in showing Cohen's misdeeds as his dictator persona, as he insults the U.S., cheats in a track race, and has a romantic transaction with Megan Fox — amongst other transgressions.
